Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
I’m playing along with CAS(E) this Sketch #128 for which my starting point was patterned papers from the recently released Echo Park Homegrown Collection.
After establishing a garden theme, I used the Memory Box die to cut a watering can, which I filled with flowers cut with punches and dies in my stash. The Hero Arts sentiment, which I heat embossed, is from a set whose fonts I especially like.
Supplies:
I’m playing along with CAS(E) this Sketch #127 – another terrific and versatile sketch!
Here’s my take on the sketch:
I used Reverse Confetti’s Peacock Pretties to create a tone-on-tone pattern on blue and gray cardstock, which I the cut into squares with a Nestabilities die. I cut two anchors (for additional depth) with the Paper Smooches die. (I have several anchor dies; this one was the perfect size.) The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up’s Simply Wonderful set.
Another great sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch!
My take on the sketch with Penny Black’s 40-238 Floral Applique used for the floral element.
I stamped the sentiment for 30-160 Friendship. I pulled out the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig for this one!
I’m playing along with CAS(E) this Sketch #125 using Reverse Confetti stamps and dies.
Here’s my take on the sketch:
The sketch was perfect for pairing the “Thanks” from the Fancy Words Confetti Cuts with one of the sentiments in the Fancy Word Coordinates stamp set. I used the Triple Chevies Confetti Cuts die to create the chevron elements. The sun was cut with a die in the Sun ‘n Clouds Confetti Cuts set.
Today, I’m playing along with the CAS(E) this Sketch #119 Challenge. This is a really versatile sketch I can see using again and again.
I heat-embossed an Avery Elle sentiment pairing it with balloons, cut with an Avery Elle Elle-ments die set (there are a lot of balloon sizes in the set!), and a wood veneer bike (I glued two bikes together for extra depth). To balance the reverse-type sentiment, I trimmed the edge with black-and-white striped Shape ‘n Tape. The balloon strings were cut on my Silhouette.
